Petrol distance
 

What do you guys get KM wise on your XT tank, i find i am getting about 220km that is easy riding no hectic stuff, does this sound ok, no mods at all big standard bike?

The kilos/litre will differ.

<O:p</O:p My Xt with a good powercommander map was giving me around 230 to 250km's until the reserve light came on. I was able to go to 280 and even 300 before the tank would be dry. Averaging about 21km/l.

<O:p</O:p I since then I increased the fuel delivery on my fuel map and now I get around 200 to 210 before the reserve light comes on. I think I will go back to the older map soon as there is no real benefit to run the map I have now.

<O:p</O:p I also run a 16 front sprocket and ride in traffic. Speed ranges between a crawl up to around 100km/h for short distances.
<O:p</O:p<O:p
On the open road, sticking to around 100km/h, I use to get up to 25km/l if I took it easy.

Crank it open and the average seems to be around 19 to 21km/l.

<O:p</O:p Jon�s Tenere is also giving him around the 18 to 19 km/l right now, and that�s with a rich map, We leaned his fuel map out a bit also, so I think he will be getting around the 20 to 22km/l soon. Also traffic riding. His Tenere should also run around the 25km/l if he takes it easy. He still runs stock sprockets.

getting about 220 untill light comes on if i drive it like it's mine...when i drive it like it is stolen...then i get 190km then light comes on.
Have pushed the tank to 309km,,,then i had to push it to the closest garage cause it died...luckily it was 200m away.

I filled my tank up today.340KM without the reserve coming on.(5L reserve)Put in 17 l so that gave me 20km/l.Your map is definately making a diff. Freeze.I also did some long distance and averaging about 140 km/hr. so I can definately better on the fuel consumption.Will be looking at a one tooth up front sprocket. http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

How do you get 17 liters in that tank if it is only a 15liter tank?

Sorry !!Tenere 660 has a 23l tank.:002:

Yes, rub it in Jon!!!!!....lol.

Man, that�s the one thing I would change on the XTR. A bigger fuel tank.

<O:p This week for some reason I had to do a few trips between JHB and PTA and I managed to do a lot of travelling on the highway instead of the back roads I normally use. This allowed me to do constant speeds instead of the stopping at all the traffic lights and intersections.

<O:p I clocked up just over 22km/l, doing 260km's on 11.8 litres of fuel.<O:p

howzit guys long time no chat :)
I have a 2006 XTR with 55000 km on the clock. Just an interesting point I picked up, I ride quite aggressivly and I get about 200 - 210 km before the reserve light comes on when I use 95 octane petrol, when I use 93 octane I get between 230 and 240 km on the same amount of fuel. quite interesting hey.

Hallo julle, mine is the same as Gerhard's 220/230 km then my light goes on, haven't run it till it's dry yet!

+1!!
